Focusing single-mindedly on the betterment of mankind, the Boustany Foundation awards scholarships to exceptionally talented individuals, creates life-changing opportunities for less privileged children and encourages tolerance between different cultures. The Boustany Foundation believes that providing highly talented individuals with the opportunity to maximize their potential can have profound and wide-ranging effects that resonate far beyond their own particular field.
Established in 2006 by Nabil Boustany and his son Fadi, the Boustany Foundation is present in Switzerland and Monaco. The two entities share a similar vision although each has its own Board of Directors representing a diverse range of nationalities and backgrounds. Preceding the Foundation itself, the first Boustany Scholarship was awarded in 1997 to an MBA student at the University of Cambridge. The Foundation has since awarded many scholarships in various fields with plans to create more opportunities in the coming years for exceptional students.
Today, the Boustany Foundation is actively engaged in promoting and managing scholarship and aid programs – all of which have ambitious plans for further development, global reach and scope. New scholarships for talented and promising individuals are progressively being created. Each year more projects that offer opportunities for disadvantaged children are proposed and brought to fruition. The Boustany Foundation recognises the importance of helping people evolve and leave a positive impact on the world.
In order to achieve the above, the Foundation grants various scholarships across a range of academic disciplines with plans to expand the scholarship program progressively in the coming years. Scholarships are awarded to outstandingly talented applicants and those who show exceptional promise.
The Harvard MBA is one of the world’s leading business programmes, taught at one of the world’s most prestigious Universities. The Boustany MBA Harvard Scholarship is granted once every two years for a two year course at Harvard Business School.
